Summary
Baxter Eaves is a Probabilistic ML researcher with 13 years of experience building psychologically valid AI that mimics, predicts, and improves human performance across high-stakes domains. He leads humanistic AI efforts at Redpoll, applying Bayesian nonparametrics to make complex, dynamic data transparent, safe, and interoperable with human decision-makers. His background spans industry and academia—from developing a domain-specific probabilistic programming language and QA frameworks at CiBO to novel population-genetics methods at Monsanto and probabilistic systems at MIT. Trained as a computational cognitive scientist (PhD) and a former Navy petty officer, he combines rigorous probabilistic modeling with operational discipline and a knack for mentoring teams. Notably, he focuses on practical speedups and robustness—shipping probabilistic tools that outperform deep learning baselines while running faster per datum.
